sadgirl posting
Got on E today, and was told by someone in the community I was getting fucked by my doctor. I was given 2mg estrogen tablets and 5mg fin tablets.
They told me to take 1/2 an e tablet twice, and 1/4 a fin tablet once a day. (2mg estrodoil and 1.25finastride per day total.) Was told in trachat that this was completely useless as it stands.
Still unsure but it feels disheartening to hear. I also meant to come out to my mom tonight but couldn't work up the courage and shes already asleep.
This was supposed to be a fucking landmark day, like the first day of things getting better and I feel like I'm just more behind I fucking hate it. This was supposed to be a good day and its just turned to fucking shit.
I wouldn't want to be cis, but fuck sometimes I wish I wasn't trans.
Youre a step further than you were yesterday. And also, youre on estrogen!!! Congratulations!!! Everyone gets their dosages adjusted and very very often start at low dosages, and just getting on it at all is huge! Im proud of and happy for you
::: spoiler Editing to say more nice things about you cause sadgirls should have nice things said about them:
You said its supposed to be a landmark day, and it fucking was! You took a massive step! The emotional and mental aspect of that cannot be reduced away into levels and blockers and dosages. In a way it doesnt matter what dosage youre on, because youre finally on E! You did it! Now the hurdles are a little smaller. Its no longer "hey doc i want to go on estrogen" and all the conversations that entails. Instead its "hey doc i think my estrogen levels arent quite right and I need to adjust my dosage", which imo is a much easier conversation. Youve taken a big step and made life better and easier for your future self, and that is amazing and wonderful and perfect!! Fuck levels, they dont matter right now, whether theyre good or too low doesnt matter for today. Those worries can wait for tomorrow. For today, you should celebrate yourself! Celebrate your accomplishment! I dont know what went into this for you, but I cant imagine it was some easy peasy thing. The whole process, starting from coming out to yourself, is fraught, and even when its easy going its often just a portion of the path that is easy going, not the whole path. So to reach this marker, to reach this milestone, its something worth celebrating regardless of whether the end result was perfect. You got your foot in the door, and right now thats what counts! Again, im proud of and happy for you, youre taking steps
Thanks. I was getting worried but the advice was from someone who had only done diy hrt, and probably didn't go through having their dosage raised as time went on.
I kinda figured online medical advice should be taken with a grain of salt, but still, lotta the comments here have calmed me down.
Im really happy you got on hormones, and even if you dont feel like celebrating right now, im over here having a little celebratory time for ya ^^
